While the arrival of 2019 could mean an influx of micro-entrepreneurs looking to start cottage food businesses with the passage of California’s AB 626 last year, there’s another potential side-hustle awaiting industrious types with room to spare: at-home cannabis farming. That’s at least if a new startup called CitizenGrown gets its way. The San Francisco-based company…

President Trump recently signed the 2018 Farm Bill into the law with customary aplomb, which, among, other things, will legalize the production of hemp, and hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD), at a federal level. That means that 2019 could be a big year for CBD, the non-hallucinogenic ingredient in marijuana. Analysts are projecting huge growth for the CBD…

After months of back and forth, Congress voted yesterday to pass the 2018 Farm Bill. The $867 million bill contains lots of wide-reaching legislative measures, like expanded farm subsidies, SNAP revisions, and permanent funding for farmers markets. But perhaps most interestingly, the bill legalizes the production and sale of hemp at a federal level. And where…

Expectations have been riding high for CBD-infused beverages. CBD (cannabidiol), the non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that’s meant to promote relaxation and fight inflammation, has been popping up everywhere from beer to chocolate to dog treats. Lately, CBD has been making an especially big splash in the beverage space. Sparkling water drink Recess, which contains 10…
